Hi there, I was wondering if anyboy knows of any good web design books onweb design principles:
Something that discusses the design process, ie.- layout, typography, colour, font, etc
So that when i work on clients sites , I can come up with a strategy and plan for style guides, etc.
many thanks in advance
This reading list might get you started:
im only looking for one book, got lots of web design books. lol
This has served me well for past 2 decades now.
I’m rather a fan of this book myself. Nothing to do with web design or UX, just plain old visual art.
Not a book, but pretty good:
This may be what you looking for, all about web/UI/UX/graphic/etc design.
Also if you want to come up with strategy, plan for styles guides, mockups etc, then I would suggest you to learn Sketch [paid] or Adobe XD [free] or Figma [free].
Thank you for all those suggestions 
Im still really confused!!!
looking for a book that will help me layout a well planed website with:
layout
content
colour
typography
etc…
Why would you still want a book if you can learn and find all of that on in the web for free?
But if you still are interested in a book, it is only a matter of search and research on Amazon by reading the content of the book and also the reviews.
Those who search always find. 
thnx a lot for the helpful source
I purchased in the end: “A non designers design book”
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Non-Designers-Design-Book-Robin-Williams/dp/0133966151/ref=sr_1_1?crid=34EPE2YRG6EPY&keywords=the+non-designer%27s+design+book&qid=1556732711&s=gateway&sprefix=a+non+design%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-1
Well If you doesn’t have ANY design background (like me), instead of going to Large and Technical books, etc, do youself a favor and get this one, it’s pretty straight to the point with examples, easy to read, worth every penny:
